252: Celebration Banquet

Pan Han saw Thunder Captain's entire family turn to ashes, clapped his hands, and returned directly to Dawn Base.

So easy and pleasant!

This is the power of an Intermediate Evolver!

He didn't even need to make a move, just used his mech to handle it.

Of course, being blown to death was already the best and most comfortable outcome.

If Pan Han had been forced to act himself, it wouldn't have been so quick.

A few minutes later, the mech Pan Han returned to Dawn Base.

Everyone had prepared dinner and was waiting for his return; tonight was definitely a night of drinking until they dropped.

Qin Zhong, Cheng Xiao, Second Sister, Third and Fourth Brothers, Fifth and Sixth Brothers, Reich, Ma Ji, Mountain Top Rabbit, Monk, and others had all arrived.

"Done?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"Yes, the whole family is dead. But the other people at Thunder Base weren't touched. No rush, we'll deal with them later," Pan Han replied.

"That's great." Cheng Xiao remembered the scene of fighting with Thunder Base members back then, and the back of her head still ached.

"Come on, let's drink." In the Trial participant base, Pan Han had nothing good to eat, but now that he was home, he definitely had to feast.

Second Sister also knew that the two of them couldn't eat well outside, so tonight's big meal was exceptionally rich.

Of everyone present, only Mountain Top Rabbit was special; its feelings for Pan Han were similar to those of a master and a spirit beast.

Although Rabbit's relationship with the other Dawn Base members was passable, it hadn't seen its master for more than ten days, and it truly felt a bit lost and missed him.

Seeing Pan Han take his seat, it scurried over and squatted beside him.

Mountain Top Rabbit didn't care about human rules; if it missed its master, it would run over and ask for a head rub.

Pan Han knew that the little Rabbit truly missed him, so he directly picked it up.

"Everyone, start eating." With Pan Han's command, the feast began.

Everyone laughed and talked, happily enjoying the delicious food and wine banquet, the atmosphere warm and joyful. In this moment of reunion, everyone forgot the cruelty and hardship of the apocalypse, wanting only to relax and fully enjoy this moment of happiness.

Pan Han raised his glass and smiled at everyone, "Thank you all for your support, and thank you to Dawn Base for giving me warmth and a sense of belonging. Today, I return here as an Intermediate Evolver, and I believe that Dawn Base will become even stronger, and we will be able to create a better future! For our home, for our tomorrow, cheers!"

Everyone excitedly raised their glasses and responded in unison to Pan Han's words: "Cheers! For Dawn Base's tomorrow!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers echoed throughout the banquet, and everyone drained the fine wine in their glasses, celebrating Pan Han's return and his breakthrough to Intermediate Evolution.

After a few rounds, the food on the table was halved, and they began to enter the stage of competitive drinking.

After Pan Han became an Intermediate Evolver, his physical qualities were no longer comparable to those of a Primary Evolver.

Before, he could drink seven or eight catties of white liquor without any problems, but now he could drink continuously!

Even fifteen or twenty catties wouldn't make him tipsy.

So, after everyone toasted him for two rounds and realized it was a pure waste, they started drinking among themselves.

Pan Han didn't blame them; after all, alcohol was a luxury in the apocalypse, and drinking it himself would be a waste, so it was better to let everyone else have it.

Slowly, everyone's attention focused on Cheng Xiao.

Firstly, she was now Pan Han's wife, with a special status, and secondly, she had been to the Trial and had many stories to tell.

After a few more rounds of drinking, it gradually turned into Cheng Xiao narrating Pan Han's Trial experience, with everyone sitting quietly around listening.

When she spoke of dangerous parts, everyone gasped in surprise.

If Cheng Xiao said something incorrectly, Pan Han would laugh and add to it.

Especially when it came to clearing the 100-story building, Pan Han took over as the main speaker.

When everyone heard the name Hungry Ghost Squad, their interest greatly increased.

Cheng Xiao then focused on the final melee at the training center, and by the way, explained why Pan Han had to go out and annihilate an entire family as soon as he returned.

"Ha! That Thunder Captain really deserved it. What happened in the arena should have been resolved in the arena. He just had to show off, and now look, he got wiped out by our Commander," Sixth Brother was the first to jump out after hearing this. He raised his glass and toasted Pan Han again.

"Seventh Sister, you said that Dili Abasi also evolved to Intermediate?" As a woman, Second Sister keenly caught the only woman in the Hungry Ghost Squad.

"Yes! She even wanted to join us! Right, Commander?" At this moment, Cheng Xiao's small face was flushed, and the alcohol was getting to her head.

Pan Han could only nod awkwardly.

When everyone heard that an Intermediate Evolver wanted to join Dawn Base, they all put down their glasses and looked at Pan Han.

This matter was no small thing.

An Intermediate Evolver was different from ordinary refugees or Primary Evolvers.

If she came, only Pan Han in the entire base could suppress her; no one else would be able to do anything about her. This could very likely change the current order and management structure.

"I neither agreed nor refused," Pan Han put down his glass, looked at everyone, and told them truthfully.

Pan Han naturally knew the little calculations in everyone's hearts.

It was just that he really couldn't refuse an Intermediate Evolver's voluntary offer to join.

"Qin Laoda, what do you think?" Pan Han simply called him out directly, wanting him to speak his mind, since everyone who had a say in the base was present.

"Uh, this... Actually, I don't have any opinion, Commander. If you say we accept her, then we accept her." Qin Zhong's face was red, and he scratched his head, his tongue a bit tied.

Pan Han narrowed his eyes at him, thinking, this old fox is a bit sly.

He had been hoping for an analysis of the pros and cons, but he just glossed over it.

"What about the others? Second Sister, what do you think?" Seeing Qin Zhong not speak, Pan Han could only continue to ask.

Second Sister pondered for a moment before speaking, "Are all 700+ people in their Daughter Country really women?"

"Mostly, I guess. I heard they kept some men for... that," Pan Han said, indicating he hadn't been there himself and his information was limited.

"Then I think it's great. Once they come, we can form a nursing team," Second Sister said seriously.

She had recently selected about ten doctors from the people they had taken in, but there was a shortage of nurses.

If over 700 women could come at once, it would greatly increase the selection pool.

"Commander, I'd like to share my opinion." At this moment, Fifth Brother put down his glass and looked at Pan Han.

"Speak!" Pan Han handed him a cigarette.

"Commander! Our base currently only occupies Z City, which now has less than 50,000 people, and the area is only 17,000 square kilometers. The next step should be to expand to All States."

"Hmm, have you been planning these past few days?" Pan Han felt that they hadn't been idle during this time after Fifth Brother finished speaking.

"Yes! Commander went out to fight, so we definitely have to keep up. Hehe."

"Then tell me about the All States expansion." Pan Han himself lit a cigarette and happily listened to Fifth Brother's report.

"Alright, Commander. Our state is very large, at least 500,000 square kilometers, with 12 cities under its jurisdiction. Our Z City is the smallest one." Fifth Brother started explaining, seeing that Pan Han was very satisfied.
